1. Ty Says: It depends on your state tax laws.

I live in a state where used car purchases from individuals are not taxed at all. You only pay state tax when the car is sold by a dealer. Your state may be different.
2. mccoyblues Says: California, you will pay use tax before they let you register at the DMV. If you paid sales tax at a dealer, the DMV will not charge the use tax. So they get you either way.
3. roderick_young Says: Yes, but you don't pay it to the person you're buying it from. You will pay the sales tax at the DMV or County Clerk.
4. David G Says: You will have to pay the tax when you go to register the title.
